Roast Frog Legs

Frog legs are a delicacy in many parts of the world; and for good reason. They’re a good alternative to chicken, but with an even better flavour. If you want to try something adventurous that probably tastes quite familiar, they are an excellent place to start.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get fresh frog legs, but I did manage to get the next best thing: frozen ones. I found them, of course, at my local Asian supermarket, T&T, where you can find all kinds of amazing things. I’m like a kid in a candy store whenever I go there. There are so many strange and fascinating things to try. At first, I used to feel a bit intimidated; after all, many of these food items were unfamiliar in the Middle East. However, with time I’ve grown bolder and have become less afraid of experimentation. It’s all part of the adventure!

If you’ve never tried frog legs and find them at a supermarket or butcher near you, I highly recommend them. I very much enjoyed the delicate flavour of the meat and I am definitely going to make them again. Plus, they were also very cheap; the price was comparable to chicken wings. Maybe I’ll come up with a few new recipes for frog legs; so stay tuned!

I generally like fusion flavours in my recipes. I see absolutely no harm in using Sichuan peppers, combined with a bunch of other flavours that aren’t really Asian in origin, and coming up with something new. There’s no reason to limit yourself to the ingredients you’re used to. Experiment with new flavours and find combinations that suit you!
